Purpose

This lets you get quite a lot of text or numeric data into a table quicker and less memory consuming. You specify a delimiter for fields (default is comma) and for records (default is newline), and rml2pdf will break this up.

Example usage

<blockTable>
   <bulkData fieldDelim=",">
       <![CDATA[
            Name,Profit
            Twister,26
            Icecream,34
            Snacks,217
            Coffee,23
            Total,277
        ]]>
   </bulkData>
</blockTable>
